Summary

Mission

Mozillians.org makes the Mozilla contributor base feel smaller by creating an easy way to learn who is involved, what they do and how to connect with them.

Objectives

1. Mozillians will have a public profile that outlines their activities across all of Mozilla's communities.
2. People will be able to find and message Mozillians within specific geographic locations and communities.
3. Provide a basic of set of metrics for our community.

Context

Mozilla has progressed from its beginnings as a set of 100's contributors of technical leads into a group of 1000's. We lack information on our current contributor base and there is a <a href="/Mozillians/Needs_Opportunities" title="Mozillians/Needs Opportunities">significant opportunity loss</a> from our inability to seamlessly get new contributors involved—we’re seeing this across numerous segments (i.e. Development, Localization, SUMO, QA, Creative Collective, Marketing, Campus Reps and MDC).

In short, here are the following known problems:

1. Contributors have an extremely difficult time understanding how to get involved.
2. Mozilla does not have a clear idea of who our contributors are.
3. We do not know how many active contributors there are in the Mozilla community.
4. It is impossible to determine a comprehensive view of what each contributor has contributed.

Many <a href="/Mozilla_CRM" title="Mozilla CRM">have tried</a> or are currently trying their own solutions to fix this problem, but all lack a broad and well-scoped contributor-centric approach. Gerv is developing a phonebook (i.e. “Domesday”) solution that should work as a collection mechanism that will solve the first problem. But what we still need to solve is a solution that determines how the phonebook fits into a broader effort to bring new contributors into Mozilla. The purpose of this project is to outline a plan that aims to do just that.

Tools

Mozillians.org is comprised of a collection of tools built to enhance engagement from our contributor base. An introduction and explanation of what each tool is and does can be found in the following wikis:
